Anyone else just feel in a proper rut?

I just feel so flat at the moment. I'm married with a 3 year old daughter. I'm not sure I'd say happily married at the moment. We just plod along really. Not much spark or intimacy going on.
I work part time as a primary school teacher and I've lost my buzz for it being honest. Maybe it's the time of year I don't know, but it's not feeling very rewarding at the moment. From Tuesday through to Friday work just takes over, so by Saturday I'm shattered. I always feel miserable Saturday mornings. Sunday I pick up then Monday and Tuesday are busy days as I take my toddler to classes, do the shopping, catch up on all the housework, and really just start to think about work again.

On paper I've got a great life. Big ish house, plenty of money, but I just don't feel happy for some reason. It doesn't help that I have to battle with unhelpful and intrusive thoughts constantly, and the big phobia of sickness I have, have had therapy for twice and it's still here (one course of therapy cost a grand).

So yea, I'm feeling pretty shit. I don't know what to do first, work on my mental health, find a new job (or career, being honest), I just feel in a complete rut.

Any words of wisdom?

What sort of career would you prefer?

Good question. I'm not sure really. I think I'd want to get out of education.
Sounds a bit daft but I'm really into flying simulators/doing experience flights so I'd love to be a pilot, but I'm 33, have had history of DVT and being away alot would not work around family life, so that's down the drain already!
